The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This  
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of  
importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember  
that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper  
accident prevention measures.  
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
WILL result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
COULD result in death or serious injury.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,  
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert  
against unsafe practices.  
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about  
proper operation of the equipment.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make  
sure your extension cord is in good condi-  
tion. Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The amperage  
rating should be listed on the motor or tool  
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause  
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire and  
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten-  
sion cords if they become damaged.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-  
AL STARTING. On machines with magnet-  
ic contact starting switches there is a risk of  
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.  
Always disconnect from power source  
before adjusting or servicing. Make sure  
switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.  
17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN  
“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward the  
operator if not handled properly. Know what  
conditions can create “kickback” and know  
how to avoid them. Read the manual accom-  
panying the machine thoroughly.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before fur-  
ther use of the tool, a guard or other part  
that is damaged should be carefully  
checked to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended function.  
Check for alignment of moving parts, bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts,  
mounting, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or other  
part that is damaged should be properly  
repaired or replaced.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear  
loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,  
bracelets, or other jewelry which may get  
caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear  
is recommended. Wear protective hair cov-  
ering to contain long hair.  
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-  
TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Do not  
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also  
use face or dust mask if cutting operation is  
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact  
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.  
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN  
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF  
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-  
ness is required at all times when running a  
machine.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold  
work when practical. It’s safer than using your  
hand and frees both hands to operate tool.  
21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR  
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER-  
ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any  
instructions you give in regards to machine  
operation are approved, correct, safe, and  
clearly understood.  
13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep  
tools sharp and clean for best and safest  
performance. Follow instructions for lubri-  
cating and changing accessories.  
22. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC-  
ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-  
ed operation, stop using the machine! Then  
contact our service department or ask a  
qualified expert how the operation should  
be performed.  
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.  
Consult the owner’s manual for recom-  
mended accessories. The use of improper  
accessories may cause risk of injury.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS  
110V Operation  
This equipment must be  
grounded. Verify that any  
The Model G5979 is wired for 110V operation  
existing electrical outlet  
only. The 12 H.P. motor will safely draw 4 amps at  
and circuit you intend to  
110V. If you operate this machine on any circuit  
that is already close to its capacity, it might blow  
a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an  
unusual load does not exist and a power failure  
still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our  
service department.  
plug into is actually  
grounded. Under no cir-  
cumstances should the  
grounding pin from any  
three-pronged plug be  
removed. Serious injury  
may occur.  
A 15 amp dedicated circuit should be used with  
this wood lathe. Always check to see if your cur-  
rent wires are capable of handling a 4 amp load.  
If you are unsure, consult the advice of a qualified  
electrician.  
Extension Cords  
If you find it necessary to use an extension cord  
with the Model G5979, make sure the cord is  
rated Hard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to  
the chart in the standard safety instructions to  
determine the minimum gauge for the extension  
cord. The extension cord must also contain a  
ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace  
extension cords when they become worn or dam-  
aged.  
Figure 1A. Do not remove grounding pin.  
Grounding  
In the event of an electrical short, grounding  
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing  
electric current a path of least resistance. This  
tool is equipped with a power cord having an  
equipment-grounding conductor as shown in  
Figure 1B. The outlet must be properly installed  
and grounded in accordance with all local codes  
and ordinances.

Clean Up  
Site Considerations  
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil  
to protect them from corrosion during shipment.  
Remove this protective coating with a solvent  
cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as  
Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. Avoid chlorine-based  
solvents as they may damage painted surfaces  
should they come in contact. Always follow the  
usage instructions on the product you choose for  
clean up.  
FLOOR LOAD  
Your Model G5979 represents a moderate weight  
load in a small footprint. Most commercial or  
home shop floors should be sufficient to carry the  
weight of the Model G5979. If you question the  
strength of your floor, you can opt to reinforce it.  
Ensure that the stand or bench you use with the  
Model G5979 is capable of supporting the  
machine.  
WORKING CLEARANCES  
Do not use gasoline or  
other petroleum-based  
solvents. They have low  
flash points which make  
them extremely flamma-  
ble. A risk of explosion  
and burning exists if  
these products are  
used. Serious personal  
injury may occur if this  
warning is ignored.  
Working clearances can be thought of as the dis-  
tances between machines and obstacles that  
allow safe operation of every machine without lim-  
itation. Consider existing and anticipated machine  
needs, size of material to be processed through  
each machine, and space for auxiliary stands  
and/or work tables. Also, consider the relative  
position of each machine to one another for effi-  
cient material handling. Be sure to allow yourself  
sufficient room to safely run your machines in any  
foreseeable operation and keep dust collection  
hoses off the floor and out of the way.  
LIGHTING AND OUTLETS  
Do not smoke while using  
solvents. A risk of explo-  
sion or fire exists and may  
result in serious personal  
injury.  
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate  
shadows and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits  
should be dedicated or large enough to handle  
combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be  
located near each machine so power or extension  
cords are not obstructing high-traffic areas. Be  
sure to observe local electrical codes for proper  
installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.  
Many of the solvents  
commonly used to clean  
machinery can be toxic  
when inhaled or ingest-  
ed. Always work in well-  
ventilated areas far from  
potential ignition sources  
when dealing with sol-  
vents. Use care when dis-  
posing of waste rags and  
towels to be sure they do  
not create fire or environ-  
mental hazards.  
Make your shop “child  
safe.” Ensure that your  
workplace is inaccessible  
to youngsters by closing  
and locking all entrances  
when you are away. Never  
allow visitors in your shop  
when assembling, adjust-  
ing or operating equip-  
ment.

Lathe To Stand  
Floor Mounting  
We highly recommend mounting your Model  
G5979 to the floor. Doing so will eliminate any  
possibility of the lathe becoming unbalanced and  
tipping over. The lathe will also produced better  
results because there will be less vibration from  
the machine. To mount the lathe to the floor:  
Do not attempt to lift the  
lathe onto the stand by  
yourself. Seek the assis-  
tance of another person.  
Wooden Floor:  
1
Use ⁄4" lag screws with flat washers. Be certain  
1. Carefully place the lathe unit on the stand  
with the help of another person. Inspect the  
stand to make sure all the braces and legs  
are still secure.  
the floor is stable and level. Drill pilot holes into  
the floor and be careful not to tighten the lag bolts  
too much or the hole may become stripped out.  
Concrete Floor:  
2. Align the mounting hole in the top plates with  
Mounting the lathe to a concrete floor involves the  
use of stud anchors or some other similar fasten-  
er. Once the location is selected, drill the anchor  
holes into the concrete floor using a hammer drill  
and masonry bit. Be sure to follow the directions  
of the anchoring system you have chosen.  
those on each end of the bed casting.  
3. Attach the lathe unit to the stand using the  
M8-1.25 x 35 cap screws, M8 flat washers  
and M8-1.25 nuts as shown in Figure 5.  
Securely tighten the cap screws.  
Once the lathe is secured to the floor, check to  
make sure it is still level and all the mounting bolts  
are secure. Shim if needed.

Wear safety glasses  
during the entire adjust-  
ment process. Failure to  
comply may result in  
serious personal injury.  
Tailstock  
The tailstock can be moved along the length of  
the lathe bed. The tailstock barrel holds the live  
center, which can be adjusted up to 212" from the  
tailstock housing. To adjust the tailstock and tail-  
stock spindle:  
Headstock  
The headstock has 5 preset positions: 0° for gen-  
eral spindle turning; 60°, 90° and 120° when doing  
faceplate turnings where the workpiece extends  
below the level of the lathe/extension bed; and  
180° when doing faceplate turning where the  
workpiece edge does not extend below the edge  
of the lathe/extension bed. To set the headstock  
to the desired degree:  
1. Loosen the tailstock lock handle by lowering  
it and slide the tailstock to the desired posi-  
tion along the lathe bed. Retighten the tail-  
stock lock handle by lifting it. The lock handle  
mechanism can be adjusted by tightening or  
loosening the large hex nut under the tail-  
stock.  
1. Loosen the lock handle by turning counter-  
2. To adjust the tailstock barrel, loosen the spin-  
clockwise one full revolution.  
dle lock handle.  
2. Pull out on the headstock release knob and  
rotate the headstock clockwise to the desired  
setting. The headstock will be fixed into posi-  
tion when it clicks into one of the 5 preset  
positions.  
3. Rotate the tailstock spindle handwheel until  
the desired position is achieved. Retighten  
the tailstock spindle lock handle.  
4. To remove the live center from the tailstock  
spindle, use the push-out rod inserted  
through the hollow center of the tailstock  
spindle.  
3. Tighten the lock handle that was loosened in  
the first step. Do not attempt to lock the  
headstock into a position other than the 5  
presets.

SECTION 5: OPERATIONS  
The speed control lever can be turned to one of  
ten fixed speeds. To set the speed:  
Test Run  
1. Turn the lathe ON. Make sure that your finger  
is poised on the STOP button, just in case  
there is a problem. The lathe should run  
smoothly, with little or no vibration or rubbing  
noises. Strange or unnatural noises should  
be investigated and corrected before operat-  
ing the machine further. If you cannot easily  
locate the source of an unusual noise or  
vibration, contact our service department for  
help.  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and out of the  
way of machinery and  
keep hair pulled back.  
2. Pull back on the lever handle and rotate to  
the next higher speed as shown in  
.
Figure 16  
Wear a face shield dur-  
ing the test run and  
operation of this wood  
working lathe. Failure to  
do so could result in  
serious injury.  
3. Turn the lever handle clockwise along the  
index plate to increase the speed and coun-  
terclockwise to decrease the speed.  
4. Remember to turn the lever handle to the  
slowest R.P.M. before turning off the  
machine.  
Once assembly is complete and adjustments are  
done to your satisfaction, you are ready to test run  
the machine.  
Press the START button. Make sure that your fin-  
ger is poised on the STOP button, just in case  
there is a problem. The lathe should run smooth-  
ly, with little or no vibration or rubbing noises.  
Strange or unnatural noises should be investigat-  
ed and corrected before operating the machine  
further.  
Remember to choose the correct speed for  
your particular turning project. As a gener-  
al rule, the larger the workpiece diameter,  
the slower the speed. Always start and stop  
at the slowest speed.  
If you cannot easily locate the source of an  
unusual noise or vibration, contact our service  
department for help.  
Speed Selector  
The variable speed selector allows the adjust-  
ment of the spindle R.P.M. The lathe should only  
be turned ON when the speed is set at the lowest  
R.P.M. The lathe must be ON to adjust the speed;  
therefore, be sure to set the speed to the lowest  
R.P.M. before turning OFF the machine.

3. Line up the center of the spur center with the  
center mark on the end of the workpiece.  
While supporting the workpiece, slide the tail-  
stock close to the end of the workpiece and  
lock it into place.  
Spindle Turning  
To mount a workpiece between centers:  
4. Line up the live center with the center mark  
on the other end of the workpiece. Turn the  
handwheel to press the point of the live cen-  
ter into the workpiece.  
1. Locate the center point on both ends of the  
workpiece by carefully drawing diagonal lines  
from corner to corner. The point of intersec-  
tion is the center of the work. Find the center  
of a round workpiece by using a center finder  
instrument.  
5. Lock the tailstock in place.  
2. When turning stock with a diameter greater  
than 2", remove the corner length edges  
shown in  
Figure 17.  
Do not press too firmly or the bearings will  
bind and overheat. Likewise, do not adjust  
too loosely or the workpiece will spin off  
the lathe. Use good judgement. Serious  
personal injury could result if care is not  
taken.  
Wood Stock  
D"  
If measurement D" is greater  
than 2", cut off the corners of  
the wood stock.

Faceplate Turning  
2. Using 4 wood screws, attach the workpiece  
as close to the center of the faceplate as pos-  
sible. Make sure that the wood screws will  
not interfere with the lathe chisels or intend-  
ed cuts.  
Faceplate turning projects fall into two categories:  
those that extend below the level of the  
lathe/extension bed and those that do not. If your  
project will rotate below the level of the  
lathe/extension bed, you will need to rotate the  
headstock to the 60° or 90° positions (discussed  
further in Adjustments section). But if your pro-  
ject does not extend below the lathe/extension  
bed, it is safest to rotate the headstock 180° so  
the project will rotate over the extension bed. This  
allows the operator to stand directly in front of the  
project and allows use of the tool rest without the  
extension arm, thus, eliminating undue flexing of  
the tool rest.  
3. Adjust the headstock to the desired position  
for the turning operation that you will be per-  
forming.  
4. Attach the faceplate/workpiece assembly to  
the headstock spindle using two wrenches.  
Tool Rest  
Adjust the tool rest as close to the workpiece as  
possible without actually coming into contact with  
the workpiece. Test by hand-turning the work-  
piece before turning the lathe on. Ensure that the  
lathe chisel is fully supported by the tool rest.  
Support the lathe chisel on the tool rest with one  
hand, while the other hand controls the chisel.  
See Figure 21.  
Figure 19. Faceplate turning large projects.  
Figure 21. Proper hand positioning.  
Wear a face shield dur-  
ing the test run and  
operation of this wood  
working lathe. Failure to  
do so could result in  
serious injury.  
Figure 20. Faceplate turning small projects.  
1. Locate the center point of the workpiece by  
carefully drawing diagonal lines from corner  
to corner. The point of intersection is the cen-  
ter of the work. Find the center of round work-  
piece by using a center finder instrument.

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE  
Rust  
Disconnect power to the  
The nonpainted surfaces on the Model G5979  
machine when perform-  
ing any maintenance,  
assembly or adjust-  
ments. Failure to do this  
may result in serious  
personal injury.  
!
should be protected against rust and pitting.  
Wiping the machine clean after every use ensures  
that wood dust will not trap moisture against bare  
metal surfaces.  
Lubrication  
Keep loose clothing  
rolled up and out of the  
way of machinery and  
keep hair pulled back.  
All bearings are shielded and permanently lubri-  
cated. Simply leave them alone until they need to  
be replaced. Do not lubricate them.  
The end of the motor shaft has a lube fitting that  
requires periodic lubrication. It is very important  
not to over lube this fitting; otherwise, dirt and  
debris will collect on the motor shaft, causing pre-  
mature failure of the pulley mechanism. We rec-  
ommend using a few shots of light spindle oil.  
Wear safety glasses  
during the entire mainte-  
nance process. Failure  
to comply may result in  
serious personal injury.  
General  
V-Belt  
Regular periodic maintenance on your Model  
G5979 will ensure its optimum performance.  
Make a habit of inspecting your machine each  
time you use it. Check for the following conditions  
and repair or replace when necessary:  
Inspect regularly for tension and wear. Check pul-  
leys to ensure that they are properly aligned. See  
pulley/V-belt sections for proper tension and pul-  
ley alignment procedures.  
1. Loose mounting bolts.  
2. Worn switch.  
Dust/Chip Removal  
3. Worn or damaged cords and plugs.  
4. Damaged V-belt.  
Saw dust and wood chips allowed to sit on cast  
iron surfaces can trap moisture and cause rust.  
Regularly wipe or blow sawdust and chip buildup  
of of the lathe unit. This will help reduce the  
chance of rust.  
5. Any other condition that could hamper the  
safe operation of this machine.
